PY - 2017 DA - 2017/12/08 TI - Content validation of the SF-36v2® health survey with AL amyloidosis patients JO - Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes SP - 13 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - This study examined the content validity of the SF-36v2® Health Survey (SF-36v2) in patients with AL amyloidosis using qualitative interviews with physicians and patients. The study included three distinct phases of qualitative research: concept elicitation interviews among physicians, concept elicitation interviews among patients, and cognitive debriefing interviews among patients. The concept elicitation interviews focused on areas of health-related quality of life that are affected by AL amyloidosis and may be affected by treatment, while patient cognitive debriefings aimed to confirm whether the SF-36v2 instructions, recall period, items, and response choices were comprehensive and understandable to AL amyloidosis patients.
